  • Page 42 There are two main methods of locating a transmitter. Three Point Locating Single Point Locating Three Point Locating is the industry standard method for locating. It locates the transmitter by pinpointing three specific locations along the transmitter’s magnetic field. The front locate point (FLP) ahead of the transmitter, the rear locate point (RLP) behind the transmitter and the locate line (LL) above the transmitter.
  • Page 43 The FLP is a point in front of the transmitter. Locate it by putting the ball in the box. Next, find the RLP. The RLP is a point behind the transmitter. Locate it by putting the ball in the box. Then, imagine a line that runs through the FLP and RLP.
  • Page 44 Single Point Locating is the newest and most efficient locating method, which is available with the Mag 6 and Mag 8. Simply locate the front locate point (FLP). When the ball falls into the box, you are above the FLP.
